A Seattle Institution

Virginia Inn is a historic bar and restaurant located next to Pike Place Market. It first opened in 1903, predating the Market itself, and has operated for well over a century as one of the city’s classic gathering spots.

The V.I. — as it’s known to regulars — remains a beloved part of Seattle’s restaurant scene. A casual, storied place where Market visitors and longtime patrons alike can enjoy Pacific Northwest inspired cuisine as well as classic pub far in a uniquely Seattle setting.
